Compakto Panel & Workpiece Returns

The Compakto Panel & Workpiece Return transforms your edgebanding into a one person operation. The payback period of a Compakto Panel & Workpiece Return is less than 18 months, even when the edgebander is used just 20 hours a week.

Reduced waiting time increases productivity: the Compakto Panel & Workpiece Return will automatically accumulate up to 10 panels on the roller conveyor at the end of a run, while the operator prepares the next job. The return will switch off after all boards have been returned. As soon as the next board comes off the edgebander the Compakto Panel & Workpiece Return will automatically turn back on.

Compakto Panel Returns are modular, reversible and fit any edgebander or profile sander. Made up of fully self-contained units that plug together, Compakto Panel Return conveyors are simple to install, shift or adapt to another edgebander.

Edgebanders with which the Compakto Panel Returns have been installed include Biesse, HOLZ-HER, Brandt, SCM, OTT, IMA, Hebrock, KDT, Homag and Stefani.
